Last week I had the sincere pleasure of attending a great social media event in Boston, a live taping of Wine Library TV. Gary Vaynerchuk is not only perhaps the most passionate wine enthusiast out there, he’s hilarious and has a personality fit for a burgeoning online TV show. His book tour (for Gary Vaynerchuk’s 101 Wines Guaranteed to Inspire, Delight, and Bring Thunder to Your World) brought him to Boston, where after filming the show he conducted a live Q&A. His show and website encompass everything about community, and Gary himself mentioned he spends 18 hours a day working with his community. (He’s actively responding to folks on Twitter and popping up on many blog posts from the event, among other things). Bottom line: he has an uncanny knack to bring people together. I met too many people to mention who I had previously only known on Twitter or through the Social Media Breakfast series in Boston (I’m still searching for a one-word term to describe that).
